After we finished the victory tour, we went back to the capitol. The place that I did not want to visit again. The capitol is a nice place, but it isn't a place that I would like to go to again. We arrive, and they all make me go to sleep instantly. I question this, but they don't answer. They all stare at me, and I just go with it. I went to sleep, and over heard them speaking about a party. I already knew what it was, but I just ignored it.
Morning
''Morning.'' Rody said while sitting on the side of my bed.
''Morning. Why are we still in the hospital? Shouldn't we be back at the hotel?'' I ask.
''Well, the president says that he wants you to recover quickly.'' Rody smiled.
''I see.'' I sigh. ''At least he cares.''
''Yeah.'' We laugh.
I take a shower and get into the clothes that my stylists and the president have picked out for me. They're very nice clothes. I wear a gray colored shirt with district nines industry emblem around my chest to my stomach. I wear a brown vest over it, and I wear long brown pants that say the word 'grain' on them. For the shoes, I wear high-tops that are brown have white laces. I like the outfit, it's nice in my opinion.
''Ok, let's get to this party.'' I smile.
''YES! That's the spirit!'' The president yelled in excitement.
Everyone smiled as I looked around the room. I had a smirk on my face because I didn't want to upset the president. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the train with everyone else. We got to the president's mansion, and this was where he was placing the party.
''Is this a one time thing?'' I ask.
''No. We have capitol parties, but they're just for no reason sometimes.'' The president tells me.
''Well, is this the only time you're gonna do it for the Hunger Games?'' I ask again. ''This is all there is to it, right?''
''Oh no no no. Listen darling. Every year that we have a Hunger Games, which will be every year from now on to show the districts that what they've done was wrong. Each victor will have their own party, and they will gain fame and fortune and meet very important people in Panem.'' The president laughs.
''So you're saying that these games will continue on, forever!?'' I shout.
''Yes honey. Lower your voice. But yeah, we're gonna be doing these games every year for as long as I live. I don't know about the next president, but I'm pretty sure that he'll continue it as well. Anyway, once we get to my mansion, we're gonna have fun! You're going to meet very important and famous people that are in Panem, and you might not know who they are, but they surely know who you are.'' The president smiled.
I just looked out the window as I sat next to the president and knew that he must be killed. This is a terrible idea making teenagers kill each other for the capitol amusement. How can people just sit there and laugh at us killing each other? I started to think about a way to kill the president but then I snapped out of it. I'm letting these Hunger Games change me into some type of killer that I'm not. I just look out of the window until we get to the president's mansion. Once we're there, they all make me take my clothes off and get changed into something more... Appealing. I hate how they make me do this: Wear clothes just to get onto a train, and then as soon as we get somewhere important I have to change again. I get changed into this beautiful dress, but before that, I got my hair done. It was in a nice way where one side was on the right side of my face near my right eye but you were able to see my entire face. It was put into a bun, and my blue eyes looked great with it. They put makeup on me with red lipstick. I saw that they had blue strings hanging from my hair which I thought looked beautiful. My hair was nice, and my face was beautiful. I wore a robe sort of attire. On the left side of it, the shoulder was purple and down was yellow and red. My right shoulder was bare naked and my skin was showing but it had a short sleeve that was cut off. The whole robe/dress was yellow, red, and purple. I thought it looked amazing. My shoes were also red, purple, and yellow. I was wearing leggings as well, but it was hard to see because of the dress. (I think that I described this bad, so just look at the story cover picture, I think that helps make it easier.)
''Thank you!'' I jumped and smiled.
''You're very welcome.'' My stylist says.
''Are you ready?'' The president asked me. ''This party will start at 5pm and end at 5am just so you know.''
I nodded my head, and looked over at the beautiful doors. I walked up the spiral stairs as the president told me to. All I heard was people clapping, yelling, cheering, and chanting my name as I was inside. He held my cheeks and kissed my forehead. I just looked at the president as he was about to walk down the stairs.
''You know what.'' He said as he turned around. ''I was thinking that we give every victor a beautiful title. Like a name for them to be remembered as. And I have a great name for you. Princess, you shall know be known as the capitol's princess. I love the clothes you are wearing, and you just look like one with that beautiful face!'' He smiled.
''Thank you.'' I said.
''I will introduce you as 'Princess Senwe,' and the capitol people will love you. Speaking of capitol people, I have to give them a name as well. I'll think about it later, but for now, you just sit tight and wait until these doors open. It's 3pm right now and you have two hours to explore my mansion. Go ahead and do as you please princess.'' He said.
I nodded again and just started to roam around his house. I saw many amazing rooms, but then I looked inside his room. I opened up the drawers and looked inside. Just to make sure that nobody was looking at me, I closed the door and looked out of the window to see people holding signs of my name, and the president talking to people that I've never seen before. I saw an envelope that said 'Hunger Games Arena and Year Ideas.' This scared me because it made me think that they would continue this for a long time. I couldn't do anything with it, and the president would know it was me even if I did. Everyone in the capitol loves this idea, and it's just the way it is. I would like to stop it, but there's nothing that I can really do.
''Great.'' I sigh. ''This seems like it won't ever end.''
I close the drawer making sure that it was in the same exact place, and I just start to explore again. I watch TV for a while and see that reporters are talking about me and this huge party.
''I can't wait.'' I say sarcastically to myself.
